Perigo Named As Head
Of 'U' Basketball Team
By' BOB MARGOLIN
William Perigo, basketball coach
at Western Michigan College, was
named head coach of the Michi-
gan quintet yesterday by Athletic
Director H. O. (Fritz) Crisler.
His appointment filled a vacan-
cy that existed on the Michigan
coaching staff since Ernie McCoy
resigned early last month to ac-
cept the athletic directorship of
Pennsylvania State College.
* * *
PERIGO will bring with him
Matthew Patanelli, a well-known
Michigan athlete of the mid-thir-
ties who aided the new Wolverine
cage mentor at Western Michi-
gan.
Another former Michigan ath-
lete and present member of the
coaching staff, Dave Strack, will
remain to assist Perigo.
Unlike McCoy, who was also
assistant athletic director to
Crisler and head football scout,
Perigo will devote full time to
the University's basketball for-
tunes on the Yost Feldhouse
hardwood.
Perigo's record as a coach of
high school and college basketball
teams is outstanding and Michi-
gan fans are looking forward to
the end of two decades of almost
continuous losing seasons.
A native of Lebanon, Ind., Per-
igo attended high school at Del-
phi, Ind. and' college at Western
Michigan. He was an outstanding
athlete at both institutions.
AFTER graduation with a BS
in physical education, Perigo
coached the Markelville, Ind. High
school quintet for two years and
then moved to Benton Harbor,
Mich., where he succeeded Bill
Orwig, now a Michigan football
coach.
It was in Benton Harbor that
Perigo made a name for himself
as a cage mentor. In his 13 years
there his teams won the South-
west Conference title seven times,
played in the state finals three
times and won the Class A ehai-
pionship once. His record during
that time was 122 wins and 64
losses.
In 1949 he moved up to Western
Michigan and his success contin-
ued at the Kalamazoo school. In
three years of college competition
his teams won 42 and lost 29
games. Last winter his team tied
for the Mid-American Conference
crown and the previous year it
was runner-up.
Perigo, 40, b! married and the
father of thiee children, Patricia,
16; Donald, 14, and Marybeth, 8.

Lingering Illness
Takes Eva Peron
BUENOS AIRES-(P)-Mrs. Eva
Peron, Argentina's blonde first
lady and non-official political
power in the regime of President
Juan D. Peron died last night aft-
er a lingering illness. Her age was
listed officially as 30.
She never recovered fully from
an operation performed here last
November with a New York can-
cer specialist in attendance.
THE CAUSE of death was not
confirmed as cancer, however, dur-
ing her long illness.
The Argentina national radio
announced in a nationwide
broadcast that she died at 8:25
p.m.
The dynamic wife of President
Peron who worked hard both at
being glamorous and at swaying
the nation's "descamisaos" shirt-
less ones), was perhaps the most
powerful woman in western hem-
isphere domestic politics.
A POOR, untutored provincial
girl whose romance blossomed in-
to political power, she was a real-
life Cinderella for millions of
workers, nursing mothers and hov-
el-dwellers whose adulation pro-
pelled her calculating star.
Her soaring rise was cut short
last fall by an illness described
by her doctors as acute anemia.
On Nov. 6 she underwent a major
operation after an examination
by an eminent cancer and tu-
mor specialist, Dr. George Pack
of New York.
The specific condition that made
the operation necessary was never
announced.
Since June 20 the public had
been prepared for bad news con-

The Winners
University faculty members
have picked two winners,
According to results of a
Daily poll taken before the GOP
Convention, the faculty chose
both Eisenhower and Steven-
son by a five-to-one majority,
Their predicting powers fail-
ed them in the Vice-Presiden-
tial choices, however. Neither
Nixon or Sparkman were men-
tioned once on the question-
naires.
King Farouk
Abdicates;
BeginsExile
CAIRO, Egypt - (P) - King
Farouk I abdicated his ancient
throne in favor of his seven-
month-old son, crown prince Ah-
med Fuad, under the pressures of
an army cleanup campaign yester-
day and sailed without his fain-
ily into exile aboard his royal
yacht.
The troops of Lt. Gen. Moham-
med Naguib Bey, Egypt's new
strong man as the army's self-pro-
claimed commander in chief, sur-
rounded the royal estates and ar-
rested a number of royal guard
officers in the showdown at the
Ras El Tin palace in Alexandria,
Egypt's summer capital.
* * *
STREET CROWDS applauded
the outcome. Groups formed ev-
erywhere, clapping their hands
happily, as the news spread.
The army said Farouk, a fab-
ulously wealthy ex-playboy, sail-
ed into the Mediterranean alone
aboard his yacht Mahroussa. He
is going to Italy, perhaps even-
tually to the United States. His
18-year-old Queen Narriman,
and the crown prince stayed
behind.
Queen Narriman said she wish-
ed to follow Farouk into exile, but
was prevented from doing so be-
cause "she must take care of the
baby crown prince and help bring
him up.
Naguib staged a lightning
military coup Wednesday, pledg-
ing himself to root our corrup-
tion in the Egyptian govern-
ment. He installed Maher Pasha
as the premier of his own
choice. And yesterday Maher
Pasha talked twice to the 32-
year-old Farouk. Finally came
the official announcement from
army general headquarters that
the king was through.
A regency council was set up to
rule troubled Egypt until the
crown prince, born last Jan. 16 to
Farouk and the beauteous Narri-
man, comes of age.
The King's abdication climaxed
a succession of government crises
which followed the disastrous riot-
ing and fires which swept Cairo
last January at the height of
fierce anti-British feeling. The
country has had six different gov-
ernments in this period.
In London British Foreign min-
istry officials went into hurried
conferences. The abdication is of
prime importance to Britain, which
has been in a bitter struggle with
Egypt. About 100,000 British troops
guard the Suez Canal Zone despite
Egypt's cancellation of 'a treaty
authorizing their presence.
Another issue is the Anglo-Egyp-
tian Sudan, still ruled jointly by
Britain' and, Egypt despite Fa-
rouk's claim to sovereignty over it.

MUNSAN, Sunday, July 27-Top level Korean armistice talks-
called off, for seven days by Allied delegates-fall back today to
staff officer discussions of a vaguely worded Communist request to
rewrite the truce document.
The Communist reason for requesting the staff talks is ostensibly
to discuss "details or wording." The Chief Red negotiators, North
Korean Gen. Nam II, has admitted that the only issue blocking a truce
is prisoner exchange.
DETROIT-Detroit's ti ce daily and Sunday newspapers yester-
day announced price incre. .as effective in August because of rising

of newsprint paper.
Effective Aug. 4 the price of the daily papers will be increased
from five to seven cents or 40 cents for six issues delivered at home.
The price of the Sunday newspaper will be increased from 15 to 20
cents effective Aug. 10.

The elation which spread over
much of the campus following the
nomination, of Eisenhower does
not seem to have diminished the
Democrats' choice of the Steven-
son-Sparkman slate.
Four faculty members, three
Democrats and one Republican,
yesterday indicated they thought
Stevenson was "head and should-

candidates. They all agreed that
a Stevenson-Eisenhower campaign
will be unusually high-level.

Snubbed by many of Argentina's

Casa Rosada (pink house), the
president's palace, in 1946, Eva
Peron in turn scorned "society"

political science department was
"elated to see harmony in the
party and to see a liberal South-
erner like Sen. Sparkman to weld
the Democrats together."
"While Stevenson is not a cru-
sading, fire-eating liberal like
Sen. Humphrey, he stands intel-
lectually above any other candi-
date," Prof. Peek commented.
He added, "I expect him to win."
Prof. Arthur Eastman of the
English department agreed with
Prof. Peek on Stevenson's win-
ning power. Speaking of the No-
vember elections, he said "the
Democrats will probably take it."
Commending on the character of
the ensuing campaign, Prof. East-
man felt that Stevenson would not
follow partisan issues. "He doesn't
line up opposite the Republicans,
and evidently doesn't feel obli-
gated to support the present ad-
ministration's policy," he said.
PROF. PRESTON Slosson of the
history department indicated he
would have preferred Sen. Kefau-
ver as Stevenson's running mate
but that he was "immeasurably
pleased" with the present ticket.
In the prediction line, Prof.
SIosson foresaw a "very close
election, because individually
Eisenhower has greater popular
appeal than any othe rperson in
the country, but the Democrats
have more voters at the present
time."
The sole Republican available
for comment, Prof. Arthur Brom-
age of the political science depart-
ment, felt that Stevenson was the
strongest candidate from the elec-
tio~n viewpoint.
The Stevenson-Eisenhower cam-
paign will probably hinge more on
domestic issues than on foreign,
since Republican and Democratic
candidates are not too far away
on foreign policy, Prof. Bromage
commented.

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago
-(A)-The Democratic Party plac-
ed Sen. John J. Sparkman of Ala-
bama by the side of presidential
nominee Adlai Stevenson yestetday
for the great political wars against
the Republicans.
Then it adjourned its 31st Na-
tional Convention in a glow of
outward harmony.
* * *
SPARKMAN accepted the vice
presidential nomination with a
pledge to "take the message of"
democracy to the people of this
country."
"I believe, I earnestly believe,"
he said, "that we will go out of
this convention with greater sol-
idarity, greater unity in all sec-
tions of the country and in all
segments of our party than we
have been able to achieve in a
long, long time."
Sparkman was the Stevenson
choice for a running mate. And the
Convention whooped it through by
acclamation.
The North-South hook up of the
Illinois governor and Alabama
senator presented a new found-
and incomplete--unity in the
party.
THE DEMOCRATIC clans had
battled furiously, spectacularly, all
week long over candidates, the civ-
i rights issue and a party loyalty
oath repulsive to parts of the
South.
Even as they turned to Stev-
enson early yesterday to lead
them into the 1952 campaign
there were cries of "deals" and
"payoffs" from opposition
camps.
By and large; party leaders were
saying Sparkman was entirely ac-
ceptable. Here and there on the
fringes there was a noticeale lack
of warmth toward the Alabama
Senator,
dov, Jo : S. Battle of Vlgfu
said he doesn't think Sparkman "is
well enough known to be of any
help" to the Democratic Party in
his state.
But Sen. Hubert Humphrey,
from the wing of the party that
calls itself the liberals, sized up
the choice of Sparkman as "splen-
did." President Truman, in Kan-
sas City, said the selection was,"a
peach."
* * *
SPARKMAN is a political vet-
eran who made his start on the
Washington scne as a House
member in 1935, after 10 years of
practicing law at Huntsville, Ala.
He shifted to the Senate in 1948.
And his record indicates that
the Administration can rely on
him, more than most Southern-
ers, to go along with all phases
of its program except civil rights
legislation. Even on that, his
attitude hasn't been as tough as
that of most Southerners.
Stevenson was put over with a
dramatic coup and accepted in the
early hours yesterday an honor'he
said he never sought.
He had lagged behind Kefauver
on two ballots. But he had strength
to call up later on. And the opposi-
tion collapsed before it when A-
erell Harriman of New York, the
Mutual Security Director, leaped
out of the race and swung in be-
hind Stevenson.
For the outset of his campaign,
Stevenson asked chairman Frank
McKinney and the staff of the
Democratic National Committee
to stay on for the time being.
In a personal appearance before
the committee yesterday, Steven-
son said that he lacks an organi-
zation, has a limited acquaintance,
and will be "utterly dependent" on
the committee.

'COMEDY OF MANNERS:'
Second Threshold' To Be Presented
By MARGE SHEPHERD
Phillip Barry's farewell play
"Second Threshold" is a mature
"comedy of manners" drama with
a sincere message, according to
Prof. Hugh Z. Norton, of the
speech department and director
of the summer season production
of the play.
"Second Threshold," prepared
over a period of twelve years pre-
ceding Barry's death and edited by
Sherwood Anderson, will be pre-
sented Wednesday through Satur-
day at Lydia Mendelssohn Thea-
F. Forrestal, former Secretary
of Defense.
"Second Threshold" tells of
what are to be the last two days
of a man's life. The main charac-
ter is an idealistic lawyer who has
devoted himself to climbing the
rungs of government positions to
the extent that he loses all touch
with his family.
Finally becoming disillusioned
in his job, he plans suicide. It is
then that he seeks the support of
his family and especially the emo-
tionless daughter he hardly knows.
the language, dialogue of a style
and rhythm unfamiliar to the
cast.
To secure the necessary tone
and feeling from the lines, Prof.
Norton attempts to bring to the
surface of the actors expression
that "germ of experience" simi-
lar to the one being dramatized.
"Thus, although no one has ex-
perience the exact sentiments of
the man in "Second Threshold,"
there does exist in everyone a
past experience or emotion in
some way like that of the play,"
